I highly recommend making players unable to upgrade exotics that are already at their maximum damage level. I, like many others I have come to find, wasted my strange coins, glimmer, and upgrade materials just to reset my weapon. I know everyone is going to say hurr durr learn to read. I just got my first exotic to cap, I did not know about older guns having worse stats, being able to upgrade them to higher stats, I just saw an upgrade option for my gun and bought it, why would I not? After I looked into it online I felt sick. Destiny is already behind other MMO RPG's in there complete lack of GM's or other system to recover lost items/characters, now i appear to have fallen into a beginners trap because I failed to read patch notes.
At the stage I'm at 7 coins is a lot, all the mats mean a lot of time running around mars, and my gun is reset. put a real bad taste in my mouth...
PUT A WARNING OR MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UPGRADE 331 EXOTICS

Yep I made the same mistake. If an shop listing exotic upgrades has your weapon or armour it is effectively says this is a positive option. Wiping the upgrades makes no sense. There is no situation where this would be beneficial. Bungie just need to gray out the option when the upgrades are maxed out.
